   * <ul>
   *   <li>During a resource load when the resource is transformed or transcoded before any consumer
   *   have ever had access to this resource</li>
   *   <li>After all consumers have released this resource and it has been evicted from the cache
   *   </li>

   * For most users of this class, the only time this method should ever be called is during
   * transformations or transcoders, the framework will call this method when all consumers have
   * released this resource and it has been evicted from the cache. </p>
